Love Your Neighbor: Humans4

The organization got its start as Hospitality Workers United, which was born in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Hospital Workers in the Bronx were in need of meals to fuel their fight. Due to government orders, many eateries shut down leaving medical & essential workers with little to no options.

For the next two months, Hospitality Workers United was able to help provide 25,000 meals across 8 city hospitals in NYC, partnering with over 10 local establishments and organizations during the length of the mission.

During the last few weeks of the mission, they noticed that the local undocumented community in Brooklyn was still feeling the effects of the Pandemic.

Humans 4 is currently on their second mission in partnership with Mixteca Organization in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, to help feed Latino families affected by COVID-19.

Every week, Humans4 is helping provide 60-70 prepared meals with the help of La Palapa lead by Owner + Chef, Barbara Sibley. As of Nov 1, 2020, La Palapa and Humans4 have provided over 1,600 meals to Mixteca.

Musician’s Breakfast: SUSU

The Musician’s Breakfast (noun) – an order special to patrons of the Café No Sé bar in Antigua, Guatemala. Consists of a can of beer + a shot of Ilegal Mezcal.

We’re serving a very special Musician’s Breakfast today – SUSU met up in their Brooklyn kitchen to perform a fiery acoustic set, including music from their debut EP ‘Panther City,’ recorded with Ilegal Mezcal at Niles City Sound in Austin, TX.

The embers of this rock n’ roll wildfire were first stoked three years ago when the Liza Colby Sound and Revel In Dimes merged as Revel Sound for select NYC shows including a coveted residency at legendary haunt The Rose Bar at Gramercy Hotel, a jaw-dropping performance at Webster Hall, and an exclusive appearance at sought after artist enclave The Surf Lodge.
